While I'm personally probably not going to use this (I'm currently very 
happy with Godot and it's D binding for what I'm doing), I'll opinion 
that it's impressive that if/when when you release this one, we'll have 
three purely D 3D game engines (this, Dagon and Hipreme Engine), and 
maybe on top of these some less well known ones.

I'll be happy to read updates about them once in a while even if I'm 
probably not having a need for them.
